My dad taught me differently. He'd say, 'Don't expect struggle. Expect ease and fluidity.' There's nothing magic about it. You have to put in the work, but you would think everyone would take it as seriously as I do." - Barry Zito, Former Pro Baseball Player. Stats.

"As you believe, you will receive." - Barry Zito's Dad. ESPN

Rotten Tomatoes Fresh
Critics Consensus: A horror/rom-com hybrid that somehow manages to blend its ingredients without losing their flavor, Extra Ordinary more than lives up to its title.

Wendy's Coffeehouse -

*Relocated, KCMO Talk Radio 710 AM. Tap dancing. Interview schedule is wonky. Finally invested in a podcast unit to keep up with interviews.

• On air this weekend, 3/8/20, 8 p central time. Replay. Former NASA Astronomer Marian Rudnyk. Intersect. Huge skeptic when he first encountered UFO Researcher Stanton Friedman. Then he saw - photographed UFOs and needed to 'reformat his hard drive', as it were. UFOs are REAL? Other unanticipated challenges include encounters with MIBs and military fly-bys. Previous blog post.
• 3/8/20 Podcast Archives. New interview: PSI Extra - Margie Thompson, 1 hour, no commercials. Finding Color in the Darkness, Losing a son and finding a new path.
  
  Nothing can prepare you for the loss of a loved one. Self doubt, second guessing and self blame are all part of the story. In trying to come to terms with her son John's death, Margie saw several psychics. While some were able to make a connection, one offered incredible validation. A friend suggested a popular medium but she was booked. The alternative was her niece. Also said to be very gifted.
  
  Margie booked an appointment a year out - questioning herself but curious. She discovered a previous Facebook live event with that Medium. Tired, ready to sign off, the Medium was bothered and said she needed to relay a message. Someone named John. Date and clues for Margie. Recorded in December. Margie saw it February. Subsequent interview. The Medium asked if they had met before because something familiar. Margie said no.
  
  Then, the Medium smiled and said, "Oh, that's it. I met your son John."

*3/5/20 - First morning doing traffic at the new studio. Engineers wrapping up. No clue how to operate TV. Someone pre-set Travel Channel: Ghost Adventures previews. I don't have cable. Totally caught up with Zak and the gang ... everywhere a demon. 

I like my studio. Avoid Demon influence. Don't text and drive. Life is good.
